Hi again step -
thanks for the diagnostic outline in the previous 2 posts, just double-checked that I had downloaded "studio-1.0.136-x86_64-1.txz" instead of a 32-bit version, so all good there (?).
Chronological responses to your queries:

---> Do you have these files?
usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.la
/usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.so
/usr/lib64/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0

Not there. Odd, as when I tried to install libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.36-1.5_amd64.deb (converted to txz first) from the Jessie64 repositories, just before I saw your posts, I was informed that the install was fine and good. I couldn't locate libgstreamer in the FatDog gslapt repositories, and after reading around thought the DEB was a fair choice. Mind, I had already run a pFind on the entire install previously for libgstreamer files so that I might symlink the files as needed, and nothing was found.
So now on rechecking that deb install, I have only libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 from your list, tucked away in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgstreamer-0.10.so.0.
Did I install the wrong devx (currently loaded as /aufs/devsave/fd64-devx_710.sfs)?
Cheers, Puppyt
PS 'env' looks kosher

OK, I think I understand now. I had wrongly assumed that are loading the rstudio sfs but of course not, you're installing the txz. When I packaged the txz I forgot to show two dependencies: gstreamer-0.10.36-x86_64-1.txz and gst-plugins-base-0.10.36-x86_64-1.txz.
---> Run gslapt, click Update, then install those packages, if they aren't there.

I will fix the dependencies of the rstudio package and re-upload it. You don't need to download it again, as long as you install those two above.

YESSS!! Those 2 files were the bugbears, but now RStudio is up and running! Interested in seeing how the other more popular R GUIs (JGR/Deducer, PMG, RKWARD etc) compare. Hopeful at any rate to finally get a working relationship up and running with R and some higher-end modeling. Will get my teeth into using the FatDog64 environment first, before spreading out into the Puppy variants as per your clear caveats in the readmes'. 3 Cheers, step _________________Search engines for Puppy

Yes! I'm glad that it's installed correctly now, and that you're enthusiastic about getting into R!

Now I'm going to do a postmortem.

You loaded the correct devx sfs.
You didn't install dependencies correctly: gstreamer-0.10.36-x86_64-1.txz and gst-plugins-base-0.10.36-x86_64-1.txz
I am guessing that you didn't install the rstudio txz through gslapt, because otherwise gslapt would have informed you about the dependencies and offered to download and install them for you. You must have downloaded the rstudio txz directly from the fatdog repo storage area and installed it manually. When you do something like that (which I often do myself) do read the corresponding .meta file. It will tell you all you need to know to be successful installing the package. In this case rstudio-1.0.136-x86_64-1.meta file says

See the PACKAGE REQUIRED entry? Incidentally, that tells me that I don't need to fix my package because it's already showing all the necessary dependencies.
The second thing you didn't do correctly is to assume that .deb packages from another distro will work correctly. The major caveat there is that 64-bit distributions use different conventions for the location of library files. I think Debian favors /lib and /usr/lib. Fatdog64 favors /lib64 and /usr/lib64 for 64-bit libs, and /lib, /usr/lib for 32-bit libs. Remember, Fatdog64 is dual architecture OOTB, 64 and 32. But you need to load the 32bit sfs if you want the 32-bit environment. You would do that, for instance, to run 32-bit programs from previous Puppies.
So, I'm guessing that when you installed the libgstreamer .deb downloaded from out there, gstreamer got installed in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64. But anyway, you get the point, be careful about mixing 32- and 64-bit library paths. If memory serves, I think I have better luck mixing in Slackware packages.
The Fatdog64 development environment is excellent, so 99% of the times I resort to compiling what I need._________________Fatdog64-800|+Packages|Kodi|Findnrun|+forum|gtkmenuplus

I update the pre-compiled R package collection silently, so visit the link from time to time to find out what's new. Having these packages is just a convenience; you can build all R packages from R itself, provided that you have working C++ and fortran compilers installed. You need to load the devx.sfs and check that the gcc and gfortran commands are available (they are in Fatdog64).

These packages include two ROX-apps and can install desktop icons and file associations. The installer scripts support keeping multiple side-by-side R and rstudio versions. So you should be able to try a new version without affecting an older version. Uninstalling the package from its ROX-app right-click menu is recommended. The README file points out specific install/uninstall instructions for Puppy users. Fatdog64 users don't need to worry._________________Fatdog64-800|+Packages|Kodi|Findnrun|+forum|gtkmenuplus
